Benefits of technology
The present invention solves problems in conventional technology by providing a mounting stand for capturing an image. The mounting stand consists of a base, an arm, and a top unit. The base is set on a surface where a medium is placed, the arm extends upward from the base, and the top unit extends from the arm and faces the medium setting surface. A placement surface is provided on the top unit where an imaging unit can be placed to capture the medium. The integration of the base, arm, and top unit ensures stability and accuracy in image capture.
Problems solved by technology
In the conventional techniques maintaining a constant distance between the imaging units and the medium setting surfaces, however, it is difficult to maintain the imaging unit horizontally or at a specific angle with respect to a medium serving as a reading target in some cases.

embodiment
[0021]The structure of an image capturing system according to the embodiment is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a schematic structure of the image capturing system in the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view of the image capturing system illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a top view of the image capturing system illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a mounting stand for imaging in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the image capturing system illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0022]This image capturing system 1 is a scanning system that performs scanning operation to generate image data of a medium 6, which is set on a medium setting surface 5 as a reading target, by capturing image of the medium 6 by a predetermined imaging unit from above. In the embodiment, the description is made with a smartphone 2 having a camera function as an example of the imaging unit.
[0023]As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the image capturing s...

In an image capturing system, a mounting stand includes a base disposed on a medium setting surface on which a medium serving as a reading target is set, an arm extending upward from the base, a top unit extending from the arm in such a manner that the top unit faces the medium setting surface, and a placement surface that is provided to the top unit and on which a smartphone (imaging unit) is placed at a position allowing the smartphone to image the medium set on the medium setting surface. The base, the arm, and the top unit are integrally fixed with each other.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-268819, filed on Dec. 7, 2012, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a mounting stand for capturing an image and an image capturing system.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]When scanning operation is performed that images desired media such as books, magazines, and documents and acquires image data using mobile imaging units such as cellular phones, smartphones, and digital cameras, it is preferable to stabilize imaging conditions by maintaining constant distances between the imaging units and medium setting surfaces. Examples of a technique to maintain a constant distance between the imaging units and the medium setting surfaces include a technique proposed in which an imaging unit is fixed to a fo...
